Can people who are blind experience body dysmorphia?

This popped into my head today. Since body dysmorphia is often tied to how someone perceives their appearance, can people who are blind especially those blind from birth experience it too?

If so, what does it look like? Is it driven more by touch, comments from others, mental imagery, or something else entirely?

Curious to hear from anyone with personal experience or knowledge on the topic.

Basically , Beyond the vision aspect, do blind people spend much time thinking or worrying about how they look?
